Finest Certified 1894 Quarter Eagle PR68 Deep Cameo

1894 $2 1/2 PR68 Deep Cameo NGC. From an already low mintage
of a mere 122 proofs, most estimates would place the number of
surviving 1894 Quarter Eagles at half or less of the original
production. A few dozen of these specimens qualify as Gems by
today's standards and, true to the high production standards
employed during the mid 1890s, coins with Cameo or Deep Cameo
contrast are more the rule than the exception. However, towering
above these nicer specimens is the near-perfect Deep Cameo offered
here. The peerless, glassy surfaces offer stark field-to-device
contrast and must look almost precisely as they did more than a
century ago. Population: 1 in 68 Deep Cameo, 0 finer
